    Real Madrid plot Kylian Mbappe and Eduardo Camavinga transfer swoops in 2021 as Zidane eyes overhaul

    REAL MADRID are reportedly plotting a double swoop for Kylian Mbappe and Eduardo Camavinga in 2021.
    Spanish publication Sport claims that Zinedine Zidane has told his French compatriots not to renew their contracts with their current clubs.

    The financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic means that Madrid are unlikely to invest millions in the transfer market this summer.
    Yet the Spanish giants are hopeful of a huge spree in 2021 and have eyed moves for Mbappe and Camavinga.
    Both players have contracts with their Ligue 1 clubs, Paris Saint-Germain and Rennes, respectively, until 2022.
    Should they opt against renewing their current deals, the French sides may be forced to accept a reduced offer for their stars next year rather than risk losing them for free.

    Mbappe has been linked with a move to Madrid since his Monaco days after growing up with Los Blancos posters on his bedroom wall.
    The striker has reportedly been offered a staggering £600,000-a-week contract to remain with the Ligue 1 champions.
    Yet Mbappe was said to be unwilling to pen a new deal unless a clause was inserted allowing him to move to Madrid if Real match PSG’s asking price.
    The World Cup winner’s move to Los Blancos was said to be “almost done” before the coronavirus pandemic.

    Meanwhile, Zidane has also been focusing his attention on 17-year-old Camavinga.
    The youngster was made a top priority as the Spanish outfit look to sign a defensive midfielder and long-term replacement for Casemiro.
    Rennes had been asking for around £60m amid interest from Arsenal and Manchester United but clubs are unlikely to spend such money due to the coronavirus crisis.

    Real Madrid put Arsenal transfer target Luka Jovic up for sale as £53m flop ‘goes into quarantine over Covid-19 fears’

    REAL MADRID are reportedly willing to listen to offers for Arsenal target Luka Jovic this summer.
    The 22-year-old has endured a disappointing debut season at the Bernabeu – scoring just twice in 25 games in all competitions.

    Jovic – who penned a six-year deal with Los Blancos when he joined from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer – now looks to be on the move again.
    The front page of Spanish newspaper Marca states that Real are unconvinced about his long-term future and are ready to cut ties with the £53million forward.
    It had been speculated that Mikel Arteta earmarked Jovic as a possible replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Arsenal.
    But SunSport previously reported how the Gunners face competition from Milan in the race to prise the Serbian away from Madrid.

    Jovic may have already played his last game for Zinedine Zidane after being forced to go into self-isolation.
    Marca claim that a friend of the striker who he has been in contact with has tested positive for coronavirus.
    While his own test came back negative, he has been forced to undergo a period of self-isolation and has not been at training for the last two days.
    Jovic is now unlikely to be available for Madrid’s clash against Alaves on Friday night.

    He had previously been warned by former coach Dragoslav Stepanovic that he is ruining his career after breaking quarantine rules in March to fly to Serbia to visit his girlfriend.
    The couple are currently expecting their first child together later this year.
    Serbian model Sofija Milosevic showed off her baby bump on Instagram with the caption: “Good morning sunshine.”
